I have always been a romantic comedy and tear jerker movie type of person, I’m that girl that is always daydreaming about the perfect guy and creating a whole love story in my head,  but this time I want to go out of my comfort zone and create something different. I am not as familiar with the thriller genre and that is why I have been researching a lot about on how to create a successful story. I found some websites that basically break down the process:

1. Having a good story: Thrillers want to be thrilled, a common element in thrillers is that protagonist fall victims in someone else’s scheme.
2. Write about the underdog: Make it from the point of view  of the victim, and give this character emotional complexity.
3. Multiples POV: these can help to get an inside of the heads of many characters and build a more dramatic tension and irony
4. Open with an action scene: Introduce the crime and characters
5. Make characters miserable
6. Main characters have to change: emotional change, growth and victory
7. High pacing
8. Show and don’t tell
9. Teach a lesson
